133-38 Amber Street, Queens, NY 11414

The two-family house at 133-38 Amber Street in Howard Beach, owned by Khalid Bhutta, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2020, with the most concerning events occurring in early 2022. During January 2022, multiple emergency violations were documented in Apartment 2, including unsanitary conditions with mold, heating and hot water problems, and a pest infestation involving mice and roaches. Some of these violations were classified as "Class B" or "Class C," indicating more serious concerns, though records show that some conditions were subsequently corrected while others remained open.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints filed in 2020 and 2022, though inspections sometimes found no violations. More recent issues include a power outage in September 2022, a missing sign in April 2023, and a door-related complaint in September 2023, though the latter inspection could not be completed and remains unresolved. The property has an open violation from January 2022 regarding mold and multiple violations related to heating system problems, including dangerously high water temperatures recorded at 179 degrees Fahrenheit.

A recent Department of Buildings environmental violation was issued in October 2023 concerning a fence height violation, resulting in a $500 penalty. While there is some historical data showing rodent inspection results from 2010 (with one failure noted), the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and recent pattern of complaints indicate potential infrastructure and maintenance concerns that may affect resident comfort and safety.
